A glowing future

(Review by Pilar Granda)

A Glowing Future is a short crime story written by Ruth Rendell who is a contemporary writer. She decided to use her personal feelings such as loneliness and isolation to write a story.
Her writing captures and holds the readers attention since she makes a twist and change the sequence of events in the story.
The story is about a lonely woman whose insensitive husband, after a year of being in Australia, comes back to their apartment in order to fetch his things since he was going to get married to a pretty, greedy woman. His wife who is still in love with him becomes extremely jealous. Her obsession with him grows until she seems to be emotional unstable and even out of her mind.
I highly recommend the story because it holds the readers`expectancy from the beginning till the end. It is an exciting thriller for adults.

"insensitive husband"? They weren't married.

A sad and empty story without any redeeming qualities. A tragic half hour with nothing but pain. I don't understand why it was chosen to be filmed at all.

True. Can't see the point of this story except to show how tragic love and devotion can go wrong.
